How Convergencia Digital Signage makes premium digital signage more affordable and convenient

Shows examples of screens operated with help from

Too often, new businesses in the digital out-of-home space have to compromise on their vision. They want to adopt the latest technologies and deliver an innovative and memorable experience for their audiences, but they don’t have the money to invest in the software that will let them do so. They may be forced to choose a lesser platform, deploy a less exciting product, and hope that they can someday build the network they dream of.

In Latin America, there’s a better option available to newcomers to the DOOH space. By collaborating with Convergencia Digital Signage, a digital signage integrator in the region, it’s possible to build a DOOH network that makes use of the most advanced technology currently available. This, at a cost that is far less than it would be to build this kind of network alone.

Convergencia Digital Signage offers services for every stage of building and operating a DOOH business

The cost advantage with Convergencia Digital Signage

With digital signage, you’ll often get the best value from software when managing networks of larger scale. For newcomers to the space, unfortunately, it isn’t always easy to achieve this scale right away.

This is where Convergencia can provide a lot of value. Because the company manages many screens across Latin America, it is able to add new displays to its network for relatively little cost. It passes these savings on to customers who choose to have Convergencia run their networks, allowing them to start out with relatively few screens that run on premium software they otherwise may not be able to afford.

Technical experts close to home

Convergencia also has a lot to offer to LATAM businesses that run their own networks. Many of the top choices for digital signage software are based in other regions, and may not be able to offer customer support in Spanish to the degree that some businesses may require.

Thanks to its experience in the industry and a team that includes a variety of technical experts, Convergencia can help digital signage businesses build their networks, harness the full capabilities of their chosen digital signage software, and perform maintenance and troubleshooting when necessary.

In-house technical experts at Convergencia can help build and manage world-class DOOH networks

Quality content for quality networks

Yet another service offered by Convergencia is content creation, something essential to the success of any good digital signage network. Convergencia works together with brands and network operators on everything from advertising content to local messages to live updates for weather and other useful information.

Especially for those businesses just starting out in the digital signage space, content can be a time-consuming and tricky thing to get right. Working together with Convergencia can help ensure that you fuel your business with the best content to maximise a return on your investment.

Featured project: The Medellin Metro digital signage network

A recently launched digital signage network in the Medellin Metro system in Colombia is a standout example of the difference Convergencia makes. The network owner, iCo Medios, brought in Convergencia to help with building out the network from a technical standpoint, provide Spanish-language training and support for its team, and to create content for the network on an ongoing basis.

This network is the largest transit DOOH network in Colombia, and is set to expand further over the coming months and years.

Broadsign and Scope3 Partner to Advance Carbon Measurement in DOOH Advertising

Collaboration unlocks new DOOH campaign emissions insights for sustainability-minded media buyers, improves DOOH carbon footprint reporting

MONTREAL, March 5, 2025Broadsign and Scope3 today announced a partnership that sets the stage for more accurate, comprehensive carbon modeling of digital-out-of-home (DOOH) campaigns. As more brands seek to limit carbon emissions across their businesses, including marketing, the two companies have teamed up to expand the depth and precision of available DOOH emissions data.  

As a result of the collaboration thus far, agencies and brands leveraging Scope3’s carbon measurement platform can now access DOOH property and format emissions data for over 1 million screens globally when planning DOOH and omnichannel campaigns. Available insights include average CO2e per impression for DOOH screens by country and venue category. 

Scope3 users can view this data alongside similar insights from web, mobile, social, CTV, and other channels for more seamless carbon-conscious media planning and reporting. While DOOH is proven to augment omnichannel campaign performance, the data now available on Scope3’s platform also demonstrates its carbon efficiency on a per impression basis, reaffirming previous studies that illustrate the medium’s carbon-efficiency advantage over other channels. 

Key findings based on the data collected by Scope3 and Broadsign to date include:

  • DOOH is the lowest carbon-emitting marketing channel on a per/impression basis (in countries where DOOH benchmarks are available). 
  • The primary source of DOOH carbon emissions comes from the electricity that powers the screens. Key factors include operating hours, brightness settings, and the electricity grid mix.
  • Approximately 95% of Broadsign-contributed screens fall at or below the median emissions level, considering factors like country and venue category.
  • Opting for high-quality, low-emitting screens that deliver strong performance without increasing carbon output and optimizing campaigns for time of day can help advertisers reduce emissions, as certain hours may benefit from a more sustainable energy grid mix or higher foot traffic.

“There’s a preconceived notion that DOOH is a high-emitting channel, but the data tells a more accurate story that accounts for its unique nuances,” shared David Fischer, GM, Global Ad Tech Platforms, Scope3. “Broadsign’s expertise, insights, and extensive inventory data are helping us refine our DOOH carbon measurement modeling to shed more light on the medium’s impact. Agencies and brands that use Scope3 to inform omnichannel media strategies can now better understand DOOH’s emissions, and media owners can set their inventory apart by offering insight into the carbon footprint of their screens.”

“Scope3 is the ad industry standard for carbon measurement, so partnering with them in the interest of the broader ad industry was a natural next step,” explained Bryan Mongeau, CTO, Broadsign. “As companies look to implement more sustainable practices, reducing ad campaign emissions will be an area of increasing focus, and our collaboration with Scope3 provides a strong foundation to support this demand. It not only provides invaluable insights today but also paves the way for future innovations like dynamic campaign planning and real-time media plan adjustments based on carbon intensity; we’re just getting started and have only begun to scratch the surface of what’s possible.”
